Edgardo Sensi - Charged with child porn - and more

an investigation is still open as to possible sexual battery charges against Sensi, who in one video was shown having sex with a girl under 12 and in another with a girl under 5.


Prosecutors have added more charges against the man accused of having hundreds of images and videos of child pornography, including videos of himself having sex with children.

Edgardo Sensi, 52, of Jensen Beach was arrested Sept. 10 on 10 felony counts of possession of child pornography after detectives investigating online child pornography distribution raided his home.

Sensi was charged with 31 more counts while he was at the Martin County jail Tuesday, bringing his bail to around $2.5 million, Assistant State Attorney Erin Kirkwood said.

Kirkwood said an investigation is still open as to possible sexual battery charges against Sensi, who in one video was shown having sex with a girl under 12 and in another with a girl under 5.

Detectives are still trying to determine where those tapes were filmed.

Since 2005, Sensi was the vice president of operations for Stuart-based tour operator Big Five Tours and Expeditions, which offers sojourns to exotic destinations such as Africa and Asia. He was fired when the company learned about the allegations against him, company president Ashish Sanghrajka said.

Sanghrajka said that Sensi went on business trips abroad.

Sanghrajka said he didn't know much about Sensi, except that he had a 15-year-old son who lives in Palm Beach County and that Sensi was Catholic and sang opera at his church.
